Definitions

  • a staged fracturing operation multiple zones of a formation need to be isolated sequentially for treatment.
  • operators install a fracturing assembly down the wellbore, which typically has a top liner packer, open hole packers isolating the wellbore into zones, various sliding sleeves, and a wellbore isolation valve.
  • fracturing assembly down the wellbore, which typically has a top liner packer, open hole packers isolating the wellbore into zones, various sliding sleeves, and a wellbore isolation valve.
  • operators may use single shot sliding sleeves for the fracturing treatment.
  • These types of sleeves are usually ball-actuated and lock open once actuated.
  • Another type of sleeve is also ball-actuated, but can be shifted closed after opening.
  • FIG. 1A shows an example of a sliding sleeve 10 for a multi-zone fracturing system in partial cross-section in an opened state.
  • This sliding sleeve 10 is similar to Weatherford's ZoneSelect MultiShift fracturing sliding sleeve and can be placed between isolation packers in a multi-zone completion.
  • the sliding sleeve 10 includes a housing 20 defining a bore 25 and having upper and lower subs 22 and 24.
  • An inner sleeve or insert 30 can be moved within the housing's bore 25 to open or close fluid flow through the housing's flow ports 26 based on the inner sleeve 30's position.
  • the inner sleeve 30 When initially run downhole, the inner sleeve 30 positions in the housing 20 in a closed state.
  • a breakable retainer 38 initially holds the inner sleeve 30 toward the upper sub 22, and a locking ring or dog 36 on the sleeve 30 fits into an annular slot within the housing 20.
  • Outer seals on the inner sleeve 30 engage the housing 20's inner wall above and below the flow ports 26 to seal them off.
  • the inner sleeve 30 defines a bore 35 having a seat 40 fixed therein.
  • the sliding sleeve 10 can be opened when tubing pressure is applied against the seated ball 40 to move the inner sleeve 30 open.
  • operators drop an appropriately sized ball B downhole and pump the ball B until it reaches the landing seat 40 disposed in the inner sleeve 30.
  • the shear values required to open the sliding sleeves 10 can range generally from 1,000 to 4,000 psi (6.9 to 27.6 MPa).
  • the well is typically flowed clean, and the ball B is floated to the surface. Then, the ball seat 40 (and the ball B if remaining) is milled out.
  • the ball seat 40 can be constructed from cast iron to facilitate milling, and the ball B can be composed of aluminum or a non-metallic material, such as a composite.
  • the inner sleeve 30 can be closed or opened with a standard "B" shifting tool on the tool profiles 32 and 34 in the inner sleeve 30 so the sliding sleeve 10 can then function like any conventional sliding sleeve shifting with a "B" tool.
  • the ability to selectively open and close the sliding sleeve 10 enables operators to isolate the particular section of the assembly.
  • the lowermost sliding sleeve 10 has a ball seat 40 for the smallest ball size, and successively higher sleeves 10 have larger seats 40 for larger balls B.
  • a specific sized ball B dropped in the tubing string will pass though the seats 40 of upper sleeves 10 and only locate and seal at a desired seat 40 in the tubing string.
  • FIGS 2A-2B illustrates another ball-actuated sliding sleeve 10 according to the prior art.
  • a protective cover 27 can be disposed about the exterior of the sleeve's housing to cover the flow ports 26.
  • the protective cover 27 is typically composed of a composite material and prevents debris, cement, and the like from entering the sliding sleeve's flow ports 26 before the sliding sleeve 10 is opened.
  • the exterior of the sleeve's housing 20 may have a slot 29 to accommodate the cover 27 flush with the exterior of the housing 20.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates another ball-actuated sliding sleeve 10 according to the prior art in partial cross-section.
  • This ball-actuated sliding sleeve 10 counts balls of the same size before opening an inner sleeve 60.
  • the sliding sleeve 10 includes a counter 50 and a separate seat 70.
  • the sliding sleeve 10 also includes a protective cover 80 to protect the sliding sleeve's flow ports 26 during run in and other operations until open.
  • the cover 80 may also initially hold grease or other filler material in the sleeve 10 during deployment.
  • the protective cover 80 which is shown in more detail in Figures 4A-4C , is a thin sleeve and can be composed of an aluminum alloy.
  • the protective cover 80 typically has a thickness t 1 of about 0.09-in. (2 mm) and has a diameter d 1 suited to fit around the outside of the housing 20, which may have a diameter of about 5.65-in (14.4 cm).
  • the cover 80 includes various holes or passages 84 defined from the inside 82 to the outside 86 that allow initial fluid flow from the open flow ports 26 to pass through the cover 80. Eventually, the flow, which may include proppant, erodes the cover 80 from around the housing 20 and flow ports 26, allowing the sliding sleeve 10 to be used for fracturing and other treatment operations.
  • the subject matter of the present disclosure is directed to overcoming, or at least reducing the effects of, one or more of the problems set forth above.
  • WO 2012/001118 A1 describes a fracturing system for fracturing a formation surrounding a well tubular structure, comprising a tubular part to be mounted as a part of the well tubular structure, the tubular part being made of metal, an expandable sleeve made of metal, the sleeve having a wall thickness and surrounding the tubular part, a fastening means for connecting the sleeve with the tubular part, and an aperture in the tubular part or the fastening means. Furthermore, the invention relates to a fracturing method for fracturing a formation surrounding a well tubular structure.
  • a sliding sleeve opens with a deployed plug.
  • the sliding sleeve comprises a housing defining a first bore and defining a flow port communicating the first bore outside the housing.
  • An inner sleeve defines a second bore and is movable axially inside the first bore from a closed position to an opened position relative to the flow port.
  • a seat disposed in the sliding sleeve engages the deployed plug. Fluid pressure applied against the seated plug shears the insert free from the housing. For example, shear pins or other temporary attachment may hold the insert in the closed position, and the build-up of fluid pressure against the seated plug can break this attachment and allow the insert to move toward the opening position. This first pressure build-up and release may give a first indication that the sleeve has opened.
  • a burst band is disposed about the exterior of the housing at the flow ports. Once the insert moves to the opened position, fluid pressure applied against the seated plug passes through the open flow ports and acts against the burst band. Eventually, the burst band, which can have a number of scores, indentations, or the like, breaks and permits flow of fluid from the flow ports to pass out of the housing. Bursting of the band and the associated build-up of pressure causing it provides a second pressure indication to operators at the surface that the sliding sleeve has opened.
  • the insert may comprise a seat engaging a plug deployed therein, the insert moving from the closed position to the opened position in response to fluid pressure applied against the deployed plug engaged with the seat.
  • a temporary attachment may hold the insert in the closed position and release the insert to move to the opened position in response to a second pressure level.
  • the second pressure level may be less than the first pressure level.
  • the second pressure level may be approximately 1,000 to 4,000 psi (6.9 MPa to 28 MPa).
  • the first pressure level may be approximately 1,500 to 4,300 psi (10 MPa to 30 MPa).
  • the first and second pressure levels may provide first and second respective indications at surface indicative of the insert moving to the opened position.
  • the housing may comprise seals disposed about the housing and sealing the at least one port with an inside surface of the burst band.
  • the burst band may be composed of a cast iron.
  • the burst band may define at least one groove on an outside surface of the burst band.
  • the at least one groove may be defined from end-to-end along an axis of the burst band.
  • the housing may comprise first and second housing components coupling together end-to-end, the burst band inserting at least partially on one of the ends of one of the housing components.
  • Applying the first fluid pressure downhole to the downhole tool may comprise opening an insert in the downhole tool with the first applied fluid pressure.
  • Obtaining the first pressure response indicative of opening of the downhole tool in response to the first applied fluid pressure may comprise shearing the insert to move in the downhole tool in response to a first pressure level of the first applied fluid pressure.
  • the method may initially comprise deploying a plug downhole to a seat on the insert of the downhole tool.
  • Applying the first fluid pressure downhole to the downhole tool may comprise applying the first fluid pressure against the deployed plug engaged against the seat on the insert in the downhole tool.
  • Applying the second fluid pressure downhole to the downhole tool subsequent to the first pressure response may comprise diverting the second fluid pressure out of a flow port on the downhole tool and applying the diverted fluid pressure against a burst band disposed outside the downhole tool.
  • Applying the diverted fluid pressure against the burst band disposed outside the downhole tool may comprise applying the diverted fluid pressure against the burst band in sealed engagement with the flow port of the downhole tool.
  • Obtaining the second pressure response indicative of the opening of the downhole tool in response to the second applied fluid pressure may comprise bursting the burst sleeve away from the downhole tool in response to a second pressure level of the second applied fluid pressure.
  • Figures 5A-5B illustrates a downhole tool 10 in partial cross-section having a burst band 100 according to the present disclosure.
  • the downhole tool 10 can be a ball-actuated sliding sleeve 10, which deploys on a tubing string in a borehole and can be used for fracture operations.
  • the sliding sleeve 10 includes a housing 20 defining a bore 25 and having upper and lower subs 22 and 24.
  • An inner sleeve or insert 30 can be moved within the housing's bore 25 to open or close fluid flow through the housing's flow ports 26 based on the inner sleeve 30's position.
  • the insert 30 When initially run downhole, the insert 30 positions in the housing 20 in a closed state covering the flow ports 26.
  • a breakable retainer 38 initially holds the insert 30 toward the upper sub 22, and a locking ring or dog 36 on the insert 30 fits into an annular slot within the housing 20.
  • Outer seals on the insert 30 engage the housing 20's inner wall above and below the flow ports 26 to seal them off. Shear pins and other known features can be used to hold the insert 30 in its closed state.
  • the insert 30 defines a bore 35 having a seat 40 fixed therein.
  • an appropriately sized plug e.g., ball, dart, etc.
  • the sliding sleeve 10 can be opened when tubing pressure is applied against the seated ball 40 to move the insert 30 open.
  • operators drop an appropriately sized ball B downhole and pump the ball B until it reaches the landing seat 40 disposed in the insert 30.
  • a first surface indication can be produced when the ball B lands on the seat 40 and built-up pressure exceeds the shear value and shifts the insert 30 open.
  • the value of this first surface indication can depend on the type of sliding sleeve 10 used, the operating pressure, shear values, and the like.
  • the shear values required to open the insert 30 can range generally from 1,000 to 4,000 psi (6.9 to 27.6 MPa).
  • the burst band 100 When the insert 30 moves open, applied fluid pressure diverted by the seated ball B acts against the burst band 100.
  • the burst band 100 is disposed around the exterior of the sleeve's housing 20 and covers the flow ports 26.
  • the burst band 100 can provide the conventional benefits of keeping out debris from the sleeve 10 and holding in any grease or the like.
  • the burst band 100 produces a second surface indication as built-up pressure bursts the burst band 100.
  • This second surface indication is expected to produce a signature pressure spike that can be preconfigured to a desired value for an implementation.
  • the band 100 When it bursts, the band 100 preferably breaks into two or more pieces that fall away from the sleeve 10. It may be acceptable in some implementations to have the band 100 split at one location rather than breaking into pieces. In any event, if any piece remains adjacent the ports 26, the material can be eroded away during subsequent treatment operations.
  • the burst band 100 is not connected to the internal workings of the sliding sleeve 10. Therefore, the burst band 100 is preferably disposed on the exterior of the housing 20, which may have an external slot 29 to accommodate the band 100.
  • Fluid seals 28, such as O-rings or the like, can be disposed on the exterior of the housing 20 (and/or on the interior of the burst band 100 depending on the band's thickness). These seals 28 can contain the fluid pressure at least partially inside the sliding sleeve 10 once the insert 30 is opened. In other implementations, seals may not be used, or seals may be disposed on the band 100.
  • the burst value or surface indication value indicative of the bursting of the burst band 100 can be much higher than traditional surface indication devices. Additionally, as shown in the graph of Figure 5C , two pressure spikes or surface indications may be produced during the opening of the sliding sleeve 10 downhole. In particular, the first indication results from the build-up and then release of fluid pressure applied against the seated ball B to shear the insert 30 open. Then, the second indication results from the build-up and then release of fluid pressure to burst the burst band 100 covering the flow ports 26. At surface using pressure measurements and known pressure devices, operators can then use the dual surface indications as further confirmation that the sliding sleeve 100 has successfully opened downhole.
  • the burst band 100 is preferably composed of cast iron, although other materials could be used, including other metals or non-metallic materials.
  • the burst band 100 can have a thickness t 2 of about 0.4-in (1 cm), but the particular thickness t 2 can be configured for a particular implementation and desired burst pressure as disclosed herein.
  • the diameter d 2 of the band 100 depends on the diameter of the sleeve's housing 20, and in one example, the band 100 may have an inside diameter d 2 of about 5.25-in (13.3 cm) for a 5.5-in. (14 cm) sliding sleeve.
  • the height of the band 100 for such a sliding sleeve may be about 3.2-in (8.1 cm). Inside edges of the band 100 can be beveled at 15 to 30 degrees for about 0.1-in (3 mm). Again, the particulars of the diameter, height, and the like of the burst band 100 can be configured for a particular implementation and desired burst pressure as disclosed herein.
  • a plurality of scores 104, indications, slots, grooves, or the like can be defined around the burst band 100 to facilitate rupture of the band 100 caused by internal pressure applied against the inner surface 102 of the band 100.
  • the scores 104 can be machined or formed in appropriate ways and are preferably defined on the exterior surface 106 of the band 100. Additionally, the scores 104 preferably run along the longitudinal axis of the band 100 from the top to the bottom to promote splitting of the band 100.
  • the depth of the scores 104 can depend on the implementation and other factors (e.g., thickness of band 100, material used, burst pressure desired, etc.). In general, the scores 104 may have a depth of about 0.005 to 0.015-in. (0.13 mm to 0.38 mm), and they may define V-shaped profiles with sides angled at 45-degrees.
  • any suitable number of scores 104 may be provided on the band 100, and four are shown in the present example.
  • the number of scores 104 used about the circumference of the band 100 can be configured to facilitate bursting at a desired pressure and/or producing a desired number of burst pieces of the band 100.
  • at least two scores 104 are provided so that the band 100 breaks into two or more pieces.
  • four scores 104 are defined at every 90-degrees around the circumference of the band 100.
  • the pressure level required to burst the band 100 is configured by the thickness t 2 of the band 100, the material of the band 100, the diameter d 2 of the band 100, the number of flow ports 26 exposed to the band 100, the number of scores 104 defined, the depth of the scores 104, and other factors.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates another downhole tool 10 in partial cross-section having a burst band 100 according to the present disclosure.
  • This downhole tool 10 is a ball-actuated sliding sleeve that counts passage of same-sized balls before opening and is similar to the sliding sleeve disclosed in US 2013/0186644 and US 2013/0025868 .
  • the sliding sleeve 10 includes a counter 50, an insert 60, and a separate seat 70.
  • the insert 60 has flow passages 66 and seals inside the housing 26. When the insert 60 is shifted, the insert's passages 66 align with the flow ports 26 to allow fluid flow out of the sliding sleeve 10.
  • the sliding sleeve 10 includes the burst band 100 disposed about the housing 20 around the location of the flow ports 26. Indication of the opening of this insert 60 may come primarily by the bursting of the band 100, since a shear pin or other temporary retainer may not hold the insert 60 closed. Yet, the pressure response from the counter 50 and/or seat 70 can be used as another indication.
  • the housing 20 includes seals 28, such as O-rings disposed around the housing 20 both above and below the flow ports 26. Other forms of sealing can be used.
  • the housing 20 of the sliding sleeve 10 may include separate housing components.
  • Figure 8A illustrates a cross-sectional view of an upper housing component 21a for the ball-actuated sliding sleeve 10 of Figure 6 .
  • Figures 8B-8C illustrate cross-sectional and end-sectional views of another housing component 21b of the ball-actuated sliding sleeve 10 of Figure 6 .
  • These two housing components 21a-b couple together with the burst band (not shown) disposed around their junction at the location of the flow ports 26.
  • Both components 21a-b define annular slots 28 for holding O-ring seals on the exterior to engage against the inside surface of the burst band (not shown).
  • Figure 9A illustrates burst calculations for four tests on different configurations of burst bands 100 according to the present disclosure.
  • the burst bands 100 are composed of a cast iron.
  • the charts for each of the calculations show the outside and inside diameters (minimum, nominal, maximum) of the burst band 100, ultimate tensile strength, the band's wall thickness, the ratio of the outside diameter to the wall thickness, a correction factor, and thin and thick wall based calculations.
  • the band 100 has a first thickness of about 0.188-in. (4.78 mm), and it is calculated to burst at a burst pressure ranging from about 3732 to 4258-psi (25.73 MPa to 29.36 MPa), depending on the various factors.
  • a burst band 100 having this first thickness and having a 0.009-in (0.2 mm) groove depth for the scores was subject to burst pressure from flow ports on a sliding sleeve.
  • the band 100 was observed to burst at 3920-psi (27.03 MPa) into two overall pieces.
  • the band 100 has a second thickness of about 0.172-in. (4.37 mm), and it is calculated to burst at a burst pressure ranging from about 2479 to 2821-psi (17.09 MPa to 19.45 MPa), depending on the various factors.
  • a burst band having this second thickness and having a 0.025-in (0.64 mm) groove depth for the scores was observed to burst at 2608-psi (17.98 MPa) into three overall pieces.
  • the band 100 has a third thickness of about 0.138-in. (3.51 mm), and it is calculated to burst at a burst pressure ranging from about 1523 to 1723-psi (10.50 MPa to 11.88 MPa), depending on the various factors.
  • a burst band having this third thickness and having a 0.059-in (1.5 mm) groove depth for the scores was observed to burst at 1602-psi (11.05 MPa) into two overall pieces.
  • the band 100 has a fourth thickness of about 0.152-in. (3.86 mm), and it is calculated to burst at a burst pressure ranging from about 1879 to 2132-psi (12.96 MPa to 14.70 MPa), depending on the various factors.
  • a burst band having this fourth thickness and having a 0.045-in (1.1 mm) groove depth for the scores was observed to burst at 1977-psi (13.63 MPa) into two overall pieces.
  • Figure 9B graphs the correlation between the calculated burst pressures of the burst bands 100 to the outside diameters of the burst bands 100 for a range between 5.52-in to 5.64-in (14.0 cm to 14.3 cm). This correlation graphs as a polynomial equation and can be used to configure the particular factors of a burst band 100 for a particular implementation and desired burst pressure.
